“Larry and I want you to know how “over the top” thrilled we were with Danielle and Gili’s wedding. From that first night we met you with your great smile and unending energy, we knew we had chosen the right planner. Your enthusiasm was infectious and it never wavered even during the most trying of times, and there were many…Your attention to detail was remarkable… coordination of all the vendors, transportation, millions of last-minute projects to complete and details to attend to, was a feat unto itself. But, you pulled it through with style and grace, always showing your radiant smile and giving positive feedback. Your calmness and unstressful attitude certainly helped all of us relax, and allowed Larry and I to actually become guests at the rehearsal dinner and at the wedding. Certain people touch our lives in such a special way, that anytime they are in our thoughts, it seems like a special day. We feel this way about you, Tosca. You will never know the impact you had on our lives throughout this whole process. With much love and friendship,”

ELLEN - M.O.B.
“I still have not come from Cloud 9… You were our fairy godmother, making things happen as if by magic, taking care of any problems that arose with no intrusion into our family time and allowing us to feel like specials guests at our own event. The vendors you recommended were excellent…With such a relaxed, festive atmosphere, all the different groups, strangers to each other at first, left the wedding feeling like one big family. It was a real love fest!…You saved us thousands of dollars…Initially, I was the one who was reluctant to spend the money on a wedding planner. Knowing what I know now, I would sacrifice many things before I would give up your services. I cannot rave enough about how your competence, upbeat attitude, personal service and attention to detail made the difference to our family. You functioned as our lawyer, our manager, set designer, financial consultant, cheerleader, and best of all a friend…We can never thank you enough.”

BECKY + FRED - PARENTS
“We all want to thank you for helping us create the fairytale wedding that Nikki has always dreamed of. We could not have done it without you. When we began the planning process 18 months ago, it seemed so far away and plenty of time to get everything done. When Nikki left to go on tour, I began to realize that I did not know anything about San Francisco. As we started looking for vendors, I felt like I was taking shots in the dark. The best shot I took was at a wedding planner that I found on the internet…I don’t really remember a moment that I felt totally stressed or overwhelmed. You kept us up to date and on track, so when the time came, it was all done…. When we were short one bouquet, you took care of it. When I fell, there were first aide things waiting for me at the hotel including a kiss on the forehead to help me with my pride…I don’t know how we would have done it without … I will miss getting phone calls saying “Hi, this is Tosca, is it a good time to talk?” “It was always a good time to talk.”

KATE + KARL
“Your ability to grasp the vision that we had for our wedding day, and to then bring in the proper resources to complete the picture was fantastic. I was told I’d be lucky if I remember even a small part of the day. I can say it is a day I’ll never forget. Beginning to end – thank you!”

BELINDA + THIERRY
“Thierry and I would like to thank you for all your help in making our wedding the most memorable day of our lives! Everything was perfect – the flowers, the music, the decorations, the food, the lighting. Thank you also for taking the time to listen to our needs and for all your suggestions/recommendations. I can still remember entering the ballroom that night. My mouth dropped. It was breathtaking. It was just like a dream. Everything was as I had pictured in my mind…We cannot begin to tell you enough how thoroughly we have enjoyed ourselves- we only wish it lasted longer! You and your staff made sure that everything went smoothly (I didn’t have to worry a bit!). With you around, I was completely relaxed and was able to enjoy the company of our family and friends. Thanks so much. You are truly the best!”

CELINDA + DAVID
“From the moment we met you, we knew you were the one. We really felt comfortable working with you. We were very impressed with your professional and approachable personality which shined from the wedding planning up till our wedding. The chapel that your husband drew for our wedding programs was beautifully done. Your patience, organization, conscientiousness, and advice along with your friendliness are what make you a great wedding director!… From the Filipino cultural dancers that my mom surprised us with to my cousin who did the surprise video for me, really enjoyed talking and working with you. I was really touched with all their effort to putting together those surprises and I’m very grateful that my mom and cousin had you to turn to for help…Most importantly, having you part of our wedding and lives is really special to us! We could not have done it without you! We’ll be in touch.”

JOYCE - M.O.B.
“When my daughter first started to plan her wedding, it did not seem very complicated. She hired a caterer, a florist, a photographer, a baker, a rental company, etc. The challenge began when she tried to coordinate everyone’s efforts. It became quickly apparent that my daughter did not have the time to pull everything together and that we needed HELP…. I have been so impressed watching you handle some very difficult situations: a church coordinator who was not pleased that we had our own coordinator; a caterer who preferred not to be pinned down to details; a wedding party of ‘thirty-something’ who did not want anyone telling them what to do. In all of these situations, you obtained the results that you wanted without offending. It got to be a joke that whenever anyone needed anything there was one refrain – tell Tosca. After the event, EVERYONE sang your praises…”

CECILE + COLIN
“When I decided to use a wedding coordinator (something I initially felt a little foolish about doing as a 50+-year-old bride!), I thought it would be helpful. It wasn’t just ‘helpful’—finding you and engaging you to work with us was the smartest thing I ever did (other than deciding to marry Colin, that is)….As it was, all of my friends and relatives commented on how smoothly everything went, and how unruffled I was! As my daughter put it, “Thank God for Tosca!’…Last but not least, there you were accompanying us… saying, ‘Be sure to stop and look at the room and the beautiful flowers so that you remember them.’ I never did that at my daughter’s wedding and it went by in a blur. We did stop and look and we do remember. Thank you, Tosca.”

DAN + KAREN
“We started by calling you just 3 short weeks away from a fairly elaborate wedding schedule smack in the middle of Christmas season, pile on top of that some of the ‘over the top’ things we wanted to do for each other and you had your…hands full. The daily phone calls between Dan and Tosca, planning and scheduling, confirming and buying for Karen’s ‘Princess-for-a-day’ event the day before our wedding. All of this done in absolute secrecy from Karen’s phone calls regarding the wedding certainly but also her surprises and gifts for Dan. We don’t know how you kept it all straight???!!! What sticks in my mind the most on my wedding day is you being there at all the right possible moments. like bringing me food throughout the day, watching the time to make sure I didn’t lose it, bringing me water and a chair when I was ready to hyperventilate from emotion, figuring out a way to hide me from our guests with a sheet and the help of my friends, which kept me laughing instead of crying, and at the end of the evening getting ‘little kid crazy’ with me to chase down cable cards in the freezing cold of San Francisco…Tosca, you were more than a wedding coordinator, you were my friend.”

AMY + DARREN
“We cannot thank you enough for all of your guidance, support, and help in making our wedding day literally “perfect.” You have helped make our special day something that we will never, ever forget. The entire night ran so smoothly and we have you to thank for that. You went above and beyond your call of duty (and more specifically your contract) and we can never thank you enough. From organizing the ceremony to putting all the CLEAN votive candles back in the bubble wrap, you were incredible. You really took the stress off our shoulders and made planning a wedding actually fun! Thank you so much for putting up with our many calls and treating us like we were members of your family. You went “above and beyond” the call of duty and for that, we will never be able to repay you. We will wear your “Tosca Productions / Don’t Elope” shirts with pride. Thank you again for all your hard work. Our day was magical!”

NICOLE + CRAIG
“Thank you so much for helping us make our wedding day the BEST day of our lives. From the rehearsal thru the end of the reception, it was so reassuring to know that you were there making sure that everything went according to plan…From the start, Craig and I felt absolutely certain that we made the right decision in hiring you and we only became surer of that decision throughout the year long planning process…Craig and I will continue to recommend your services to all our newly engaged friends and if any of your prospective clients would like to call us for a referral we would be thrilled to speak with them…Thank you for absolutely everything. Our wedding day was truly spectacular – a real dream come true! We couldn’t have done it without you!”

DENA + PAUL
“…From our first meeting on everything changed for my mom and me. My mom calmed down and I truly feel like she felt she now had a guardian angel in her corner… “Needless to say, I know for a fact that our day would not have been as beautiful, enjoyable, or organized if it were not for you. By now I hope you know that I was wrong about my preconceived notion that we did not need a wedding coordinator. My mom was right…she tells me I should listen to her more often…”
